dear all, i am catching the error in cgi script on server side. if the DAO ie. DB error occurs like database connection failed. then i want that errors string to be accessible in server cgi script but i cant use the global variable DBI::errstr as its on server side and i want it for specific clients.the varible $dbh database hadndler wont work as it will be undefined. can i get this value in some variable so that i can use it.
